Southern Syria And Regional Security Challenges

Illustrative image

Written by Maj. Gen. (R) Khalid Marshoud exclusively for SouthFront.

The southern Syrian border region is considered to be of security importance to Jordan and Israel in light of its profanation by cross-border Islamic and Shiite organizations and forces due to the protracted civil war and the lack of state control. This causes threat to Jordan and Israeli, which led to reach an agreement signed by Jordan, the USA and Russia in 2017 to establish de – escalation zone that Russia pledged to support a cease fire and security in south-western parts of Syria .

Jordan is intimidated of armed organizations breakthrough and incursions into the Jordanian borders in addition to the danger of the Iranian presence on its northern borders. Consequently, the formation of the so-called Shiite Crescent leads to a geostrategic shift in the region and reinforcement of its regional hegemony by establishing a secured land bridge connecting Tehran with the Mediterranean Sea through Iraq, Syria and Lebanon. This prompted Jordan to create with the USA support a decontaminated stripe – free from ISIS and Shiite militias. It extends from Quneitra in the west to Al-Tanf in the east, and it is equipped with an electronic security system.

Jordan has realized the importance of the Russian role to enhance the security in southern Syria and decided to cooperate its efforts with Moscow under the Jordanian-American-Russian agreement in 2017, obtaining Russian guarantees to prevent the spread of Shiite armed organizations; a joint security operations room was established for this purpose .

In July 2018, the Syrian regime forces with Russian support and US approval controlled the South, successfully preventing all forms of conflict through agreement with the people under Russian guarantees to grant them a form of decentralized administration. But in May 2020, the regime revoked his pledges and deployed forces pursued by Shiite militias in order to bring back the control over Daraa and prevent another uprising. This also led to fulfill Iranian desire to obtain the same security and strategic interests that the Russians granted to the Turks in northern Syria; to obtain means to counteract US-Israeli escalation, and to strengthen its nuclear negotiating position.

As a result of the Russian failure to implement the terms of the 2017 agreement with Jordan and the United States, the Shiite militias remained present in southern Syria with the 4th Division of the regime’s army, as well as the increased number of arrests and assassinations among the Revolutionaries. Daraa province became the epicenter of a Russian-Iranian conflict. Russia sought to expel the Fourth Division from the province and reinforce the influence of its “proxy”, the Fifth Corps, but they failed, and the protracted conflict caused destabilization in the region, increased the number of assassinations, as well as boosted drug and weapons trafficking.

The Iranians object to the Russian position and accuse it of colluding with Israel and connivance of its military operations against Iranian sites and militias in southern Syria.

To this end, with the intention of creating mechanism to distance the Iranian militias 60 km from the Jordanian and Israeli borders, as stated in the agreement with the Russians, Ahmed Odeh, commander of the 8th Brigade of the Fifth Corps, visited the Jordanian capital, accompanied by a Russian delegation at the end of November 2020.

Ahmed Odeh, commander of the 8th Brigade

The position and intentions of the new US administration on Syria is not clear, but it seems that Biden seeks better relations with Iran through reviving the nuclear agreement and better cooperation with Russia, Iran and Turkey towards the settlement of the Syrian crisis, ensuring Gulf funding for the reconstruction of Syria and the overthrow of the Assad regime through a political process, ensuring Israeli security.

Israel has its own interests and objectives that it seeks to achieve through influencing the management of the Syrian conflict: limiting Iranian influence in Syria. The aim is to prevent the transfer of weapons to the Lebanese Hezbollah through Syria, which represents a vital threat to Israeli security in the future. Tel Aviv undermines the legitimacy of Syrian rights on the occupied Golan Heights and gains international support through the American recognition, Israel prefers not to be a direct player to achieve these interests as long as regional and international alternatives are available that would fulfill this on its behalf.

In the long term, Israel seeks to create a Syrian weak system of governance in form of a moderate, decentralized government with autonomous regions based on ethnicity or religion and does not pose any threat to Israeli interests. Within the current situation, it prefers the persistence of the civil war between Sunnis and Shiites as long as it is not going to be a real threat.

However, in recent times, due to the increasing security chaos and the presence of numerous players with contradictory interests, it tends to intervene by force in an attempt to change the geopolitical reality.

The complexities of the Syrian crisis and its regional expansion, the spread of terrorist and extremist outposts, the overlaps of the interests of regional and global powers and the supremacy of the Israeli interest present the great Jordanian project, which America believes with Israeli approval, is able to create new balances in the region and play a positive role in countering security threats and achieving stability in southern Syria.

In 2015 there was an opportunity for Jordan to gain control over southern Syria with American support and regional approval in light of the weakness of the Assad regime; to create a safe zone. But as a result of Jordanian fears and uncertainty they hold back.

After normalization of its relations with Israel in September 2020, the UAE began to play a direct role in the Syrian issue in coordination with Israel, aiming to achieve a new equation to confront Turkey in the north by supporting the Kurdish separatism and establishing a military entity in the south disregarding Russian influence. They are led by Ahmed Al-Awdat, commander of the Eighth Brigade, and Abu Zureik, commander of the Revolutionary Army, and seek to ensure the achievement of the common Emirati-Israeli interests in any future political settlement.

This trend will be strengthened in case of the Saudi-Israeli rapprochement, with the participation of the United States and Jordan, and in coordination with Russia, seeking to create a reality that leads to stability in Syria without Iran. If Russia abandons its desire to manage the security arrangements in southern Syria alone in exchange of guaranteeing its interests by reconciling the various factions and integrating them into The Fifth Corps, this could lead to establishing of an autonomy project in the South that would serve Russian interests, meet the requirements of Israeli and Jordanian security, and gain American contentment.

Southern Syria will remain a hotbed of regional and international instability due to the gelatinous security situation, Russia’s failure to fulfill the terms of the 2017 Amman Agreement, and the multiplicity of actors who seek to clarify their outcomes to achieve their objectives.

Southern Syria And Regional Security Challenges

The center of gravity in the issue of southern Syria is Israeli security. Tel Aviv does not allow the presence of an Iranian or a Salafist organization close to its northeastern borders, despite its unwillingness to be directly involved in the Syrian issue except for the military operations against threatening targets, and preventing the use of Syrian territory to launch attacks on Israel.

Jordanian and Israeli security are connected due to the geopolitical consensus on the Iranian threat.

Israel fears the Biden administration’s attitude that may grant Iran free hand in Syria in exchange for the renewal of the nuclear deal. Israel does not have sufficient means to influence the outcomes of the Syrian issue, therefore it seeks indirect influence through the United States, Jordan and Russia, and to invest and employ the interests of the UAE and Saudi Arabia in countering Iranian and Turkish influence.

But who’s the fool who wrote all this bullshit? I guess it will be someone funded by the state department.

Rhodium 10

Everybody know that SAA is not a reliable army beside incompetent to fight vs terrorism in Syria….there are many groups ( ISIS&Al Qaeda& “Moderates”) well fund, armed and trained…if Iran and shia militia leave Syria…terrorist take control of Syria in less than a month despite Russian air force!…we have seen even how Iraqi army needed the Iraqi PMU to expel ISIS despite Coalition air force!…Jordan, Israel,USA,Turkey, Gul States have lost the war in Syria they bet to losing horse….

tzatz

Iranian slug … Israel isn’t / wasn’t involved in the Syrian Civil War … full stop

That’s FAKE NEWS … bs

Ashok Varma

Hello gandu madar chod, there is Iranian flag all over Syria, what happened to expelling Iran from Syria ? FAKE NEWS …..bs

tzatz

Ask ‘Willing Conscience (The truths’ … he seems to think it’s being achieved … eh?

Johnny B. Allan

Uneducated folks writting meaningless stuff. How did USA, Turkey, Israel lose the war? They all hold territories in Syria. USA holds the of the euphrates and Al-tanf while Turkey holds Greater Idlib, Afrin, and North-east Euphrates while Israel holds Golan Heights

Rhodium 10

They failed to expel Assad, expel Russians, expel Hezbollah and Iranians….if you look at Syrian map only have taken small parts and above all they have no chance to take more and even less to change government!

Willing Conscience (The Truths

Who are the fools who don’t believe it, the Russians have been saying the same thing for 3 years on official media platforms, so you should’ve added the Russian International Affairs Council to your browser, then you would’ve known all this 3 years ago.

Jesus

Russia is concerned about the possibility of a regional war, Iran and Israel have scores to settle, Iran like Russia was invited by the Syrian government, they have to work their differences and care less about Israel’s anxieties. Iran’s influence in Syria counteracts against the Turks and their designs in the area.

Willing Conscience (The Truths

I can understand you ignoring me but now you’re ignoring what SF [Russia] is telling you too. Russia has one main concern that has never ever changed, so if you care to read what the Russians have to say it will explain everything. If you want to trust me just for once I’ll simplify and explain the reason they’re doing what they are. No one will help rebuild Syria when hostilities finally end, Iran remaining in Syria poses too much risk for anyone to invest, even China, and neither Russia and Iran together can afford it either, so Syrian needs international investment. Russia want’s Israel to be one of the main contributors, and the main reason they do is the Israelis aren’t going to turn around and start bombing their new investments if there’s a hiccup or two in the new economic partnership, they’ll have to sit down and work things out the old fashioned way, so the Russian’s are killing 2 birds with the one stone. :] Or like I said read official Russian sites to see what they say for themselves, which will be exactly the same thing I just did, because I only repeat what they say. :]

Jesus

Russian ambassador in Jerusalem public ally stated that Israel and not Iran is the main agitator in ME. I do not see Israel investing any money in Syria, I look at Russian sites, I have not seen such line of thought stated publically. Israel is always on the take, they have not invested any money in Egypt since they signed a peace treaty with them in 1979.

Willing Conscience (The Truths

You’re not looking at the right Russian sites.

https://russiancouncil.ru/en/

Jesus

Talk is cheap, Israel will never invest money in a syrian reconstruction plan since its goal in the ME is the weaken countries that potentially it will have to contend with in the future. The ones paying for the reconstruction of Syria should be the governments that unleashed the islamists to wage wage a war against the Syrian government…..US, certain EU states, the gulf states and Turkey.

And BTW, Chinese, Iranian and Russian help counted on a PPP basis should do a great deal for the reconstruction of Syria.

Willing Conscience (The Truths

Have you ever thought for even one second this could also an opportunity for Assad to demand a better relationship with not only Israel, but all the rest of Syria’s neighbors. Iran’s interest shouldn’t override Syria’s interests, they can have coinciding interests but not overriding interests, and that’s what Iran’s been doing for the last 2.5 years, overriding Syria’s interests. Where have you seen China or anybody else for that matter, invest in a country that is potentially facing a war such as the one Israel and Iran are now poised to start. It’s never happened and will never happen, you can talk all you want to but the experts all agree, NO ONE IS DISPUTING THE FACTS, only people like you that can’t seem to break free from the fantasy you’ve been led to believe in still want to believe pigs can fly, but they can’t, and smart investors don’t pump money into potential battlegrounds either, only arms dealers do.

Jesus

Experts in what. BS spin. How can Assad look for better relations with Turkey and Israel, when they have been the culprits of Turkish and Israeli attempts to overthrow him? If China is not interested to make Syria part of the Silk Road, the Iranians at least will help.

“”” Where have you seen China or anybody else for that matter, invest in a country that is potentially facing a war such as the one Israel and Iran are now poised to start.”””

That was your bright idea for Israel to invest in rebuilding the Syrian infrastructure. I do not see an Iranian Israeli war on the horizon, only posturing. And Israeli military is facing an eclipse in capabilities as the US is.

Willing Conscience (The Truths

Erdogan will lose the next election and ALL the opposition parties that are poised to win government have good intentions regarding Syria, so in 3 years time all Assad’s Turkish problems will most likely disappear, even the YPG problem will be resolved EASILY. My bright idea was it, I’m afraid I had as much say in that decision as you did, in fact before I read about it on the RIAC website it was the last thing I would’ve ever imagined happening, but when the smartest people in Russia are telling me something important, I shut up and listen. This article in particular made me realize that all the stories I’d been reading that I once believed were nothing but propaganda, were instead in fact actually telling me the truth. This is what the RIAC recommended to the Russian Government, and a few years later everything is playing out right in front of us now.

https://russiancouncil.ru/en/

This group of Russians work for the Government and are the smartest people Russia has, the organization is a government sponsored think tank that advises the Russian Government and develops foreign policy strategies, they have military experts, industrial experts, scientific experts, political experts, media experts, financial experts, and every other type of expert you can imagine, all working in Russia’s best interests, and some people try to tell me this site is just a western propaganda site, LOL, when in fact it the only site anyone can rely on for accurate information concerning Russian Government policy.

Jesus

They advise the government, some of the think tank groups in US are living in a reality of fantasy. For Israel to pay for Syrian infrastructure reconstruction is utter nonesense.

Willing Conscience (The Truths

The smartest people in Russia disagree with you, and so do I.

Jesus

The smart people in Russia do not know God’s plan for the ME. In all likelihood Russia and allies will invade Israel.

Willing Conscience (The Truths

You pro Iranian fans are nearly all delusional, you think Gods on your side and the Russians will invade Israel, don’t hold your breath waiting for that to happen.

Jesus

What I am saying is more viable if Putin is replaced by a populist leader, instead of the BS about Israel helping to rebuild Syrian infrastructure. I am not an Iranian fan, just observing from the sidelines.

Willing Conscience (The Truths

Either you didn’t read this article on Sf or you didn’t understand it, I suggest you reread it again or read it now.

“As a result of the Russian failure to implement the terms of the 2017 agreement with Jordan and the United States, the Shiite militias remained present in southern Syria with the 4th Division of the regime’s army, as well as the increased number of arrests and assassinations among the Revolutionaries.

Time will tell what happens in south Syria.

Willing Conscience (The Truths

Today an open rebellion started, and the people I’ve been predicting would be the biggest problem for Assad have entered the fighting. All the terrible things I’ve been predicting lately have come true today, but don’t think I’m happy about it, this is exactly what I wanted to avoid, so did Russia, God help Syria now.

Jesus

You know very little of biblical scriptures

STAGE NOW SET FOR RUSSIAN INVASION OF ISRAEL!!

“””The prophesied invasion of Israel by armies from the north and the south led by Russia is one of the most startling, and faith-building, prophecies of the Bible! Today, all the antagonists are in place, Antichrist is about to arise, and the infighting among the prophesied 10 Super Nations is about to begin. The result: Russia invades Israel, just as God foretold in Ezekiel 38-39”””

The New World Order is coming! Are you ready? Once you understand what this New World Order really is, and how it is being gradually implemented, you will be able to see it progressing in your daily news!!

Willing Conscience (The Truths

I know what the old Testament says in the old Hebrew language, and it tells us God doesn’t want us to kill anything at all, man or beast, we’re all supposed to be vegetarians, but I don’t know too many modern Jews, Christians, or Muslims who are vegetarians. I was born a Christian and was taught Jesus ate meat according to the bible, but as I eventually found out, Jesus didn’t eat meat at all, he was a vegetarian, he obeyed the old Written Laws that Moses delivered to the Hebrews, and I do to even though I’m not Jewish, but my conscience tells me those Laws are really Gods Laws.

Jesus

The Old Testament classified animals as clean or unclean, one could eat clean animals. God’s laws center on human character and how you treat your neighbor or fellow man. Jesus was not a vegetarian, He observed the Passover and ate lamb….as all Jews did on that occasion.

Willing Conscience (The Truths

The old Testament didn’t say that at all, what you’re referring to is the adulterated version the Pharisees changed over time, the old Testament forbade rape, murder, eating animals ect, but the Pharisees changed/amended all the old ‘Written Laws’ into the new ‘Oral Laws’, which I call LGBTQI perversion, and even the modern Jews believe the new amended Laws. The LGBTQI movement really started 3 thousand years ago, it took over the Hebrew faith completely, and when Jesus was born a thousand years later, he mounted a rebellion against the new perverted teachings, but he lost as you know, that’s why the Torah, the Bible, and the Koran are so corrupted now and don’t tell the truth. Adam and Eve and Moses were all vegetarians, you weren’t even allowed to put a harness around an animal then, just herd your livestock into a pen and milk or shear them, no killing and eating, until the Pharisees/LGBTQI movement arrived on the scene.

Jesus

I have the law of Moses, I can quote you from it. I am very adept in ancient biblical knowledge. Torah and the Bible are not corrupted, they are interpreted by corrupt secular minds that have sinful objective to appease people instead of God.

Willing Conscience (The Truths

I agree with something you said, “they are interpreted by corrupt secular minds that have sinful objective to appease people instead of God”, I trust this as my source of the old commandments true interpretation, http://www.qbible.com/hebrew-old-testament/

This is not the case …

Yossi will know …

Willing Conscience (The Truths

Don’t get too big a head, it was just as much a case of Russian maneuvering, local dissent, pragmatism from Assad, Corona virus, internal dissent [remember the riot just before Corona], and Turkey’s spit in the face [no more imports of Iranian gas], and Israeli bombing all taking their toll, from Iran’s perspective the wrath of heaven is reigning down on them lately, nothings going right. :]

tzatz

?

Free man

This is what the Russians want, but it is not happening yet.

Willing Conscience (The Truths

Don’t hold your breath while you’re waiting, it’ll happen but 12 months is a good Calendar mark, there’s a lot of men and equipment to move and a lot of buildings that will have to be dismantled too. And as I said in my prediction 2 days ago, the Iranians won’t announce anything for a few months, they’ll lose face if they do.

The Objective

So what do you think will happen to the Hezbollah-Iran link? I doubt Iran will leave Syria. They may physically pull all of the equipment and foreign fighters they’ve shipped to Syria, but their indigenous proxies in Syria will remain, and Iran will continue to nurture them.

Willing Conscience (The Truths

Yes the indigenous groups will still get Iranian support after the foreign militias pull out but they’ll be less active than the foreign militias were, the rest of the Syrian population will counter any unwanted behavior more easily when the numbers have reversed in their favor. And the indigenous militias won’t be able to oppress the Syrian population or threaten the Israelis without repercussions when they’re all alone, they could get slaughtered for their trouble if they try. Some of the locals were baying for pro Iranian Druze blood a while ago and the 8th Brigade’s spilled some to appease them, so I’m sure they’ll spill a lot more too if they have to. The Arab League is going to take over the south according to that report from South Front, which is another thing I’ve been predicting, so we may yet see some Arab League peacekeepers in Syria, and you know how the Arab league feel about Iran, they won’t be able to get away with anything if League peacekeepers move in.

Everyone knows about the deal, it was no secret, I myself linked dozens of articles to enlighten everyone on SF, but no one believed me then when I said it, and sadly I notice a lot of people don’t believe SF now. So obviously some people just don’t want to know the truth, they prefer to keep believing a lie, no matter how obvious the lie becomes.

It exactly what official sites like the Russian International Affairs Council has been saying for at least 3 years or more, and whenever I link their Russian Government sponsored site to confirm what ever I was saying, people like you either ignore it, or worse still say it’s not even a Russian Government site, or say it’s run by opposition elements and not even Russian. People like you do that, you spin the truth anyway you can to suit your purpose, and this story is for once the truth about the Iranian/Russian conflict, read it and understand it, SF is telling you now not me. Iran’s moving out, bye bye Iran.

Ali you have identified the problem. Iran aspires to control ME from Black Sea to Pakistan, including both sides of Persian Gulf, and through Oman and Yemen to the Red Sea. But to do this Turkey’s aspirations to Iran’s north in making the Turkmen territories which stretch to China part of the new Ottoman Empire must be thwarted. And the Sunni salafist vision to Iran’s west of a Sunni hegemony from Persian Gulf through Iraq and Syria, to the Mediterranean and from the straits of Hormuz to the Red Sea, and across southern Iran to Pakistan must be thwarted. Put aside the Arab Turk contradictions a moment. In the Sunni and Shia contest both Turk and Arab are Sunni. Russia wants Iran out of Syria. Russia and Israel are long since of a single mind on this. Assad is a place holder for Russia. So Iran is isolated and surrounded and a massive conflict is probably unavoidable, but Iran will be alone.

Do you really live in Iran? I remember you from Middle East Monitor several months ago.

Ali is a common name among Arabs, in case you have not noticed (Iranians, more so).

Clyde Dale

So how exactly do you have Internet access to mainstream websites if you live in Iran?

Jens Holm

States, where parts are decentralized by real local parlament often are very very strong because they act as network wupporting each other and fx a vountry dont break down, because some Region, Gountry or for that matter Oblast or Fajiety does.

By that You also can replace bad Leaders and public employed, because the locals know who does what Money by fx half of the incomming tax fro local purpose also is used better, because the locals know most solutions bettee, and the local goverment spend THEIR MONEY.

I have seen local Govermenting in the Assad style. Its worth nothing and only split locals up in fractions even more. Syria also has no parlament for real. No free parle for a parlamant. I have seen many laws from there. They ask none but do random things of the worst for own purpose only.

Syri is no State if it ever was.

THE KURDS HAS THE SDF PROPOSAL, which instead includes all in the region and even the smallest fraction has at least on or two persons which can speak and listen free. Tribe, color and gender does not matter. We have one vote each. That shoiuld be a reform for the whole Syria. Here the SDFs even denies to have a try and take as they only are KURDS. Well actually the correct titulation is poor and kept poor and cover the majority in the SDF areas, where the Kurds are up to 40% in the once annouced “Rojava”.

Regional decidings are normal in west and Denmark. We are not perfect, but we see nothing better and work to adjust, bacause local decidings can do that. Its also done in trust and repsonsability even we sometimes elect in morons too. We even for the moment are number one i low corruption.

Its what Syria and for that matter Iraq and Turkey should have too. Syria in the Assad mode is runned and expected to be an unprodutive private company runned by a retarded family. NO QUALITY only free weapoins assited by users from Iran, Russia and Hesbollah.

.

Jens Holm

The barking made country map makes no sense at all. fX almost all Kurds dont want as Kurdish state at all.

They want as wriiten in my otrher text much more local influence by local Governess. I will remind all here, that Turkey is a very centralized state and even moderate elected Kurds elected by 7 mio votes went to jail and local Kurd town majors was replaced by administratived by Ankara and some not even speak Kurdish.

So where is the trust??? Do Turks dont trust Kurds?? Well, Yes – But they dont trust the rest as well, thats why Turkey had to change at least 10 things of high imporatance for them to join EU.

They even has blamed my country for the Goverment not controlling the press. So what parlament worth and fx in letters great parts of the socalled huamn right. They are Out.

3 big citys areas are runned by the opposition even after re-election. I could understand some of it, if it was little Denmark, but running 80 mio people by noise and tail should be right in jail for people thinking and acting like that.

Jens Holm

The article dont tell, what Israel – so to speak allow.

They allow the Syrians to devellop and produce in their country in harmony with themself and the world.

That seemes to be noi option. Assads even has invaded Lebanon to spread out Liras in both countries as well as ecponomy should be homogenized.

Hesbollas produce nothing. They are spenders as soldiers making no descent job for years. Now even the corrupt north is declined and no Munchaussen is there.

Kafka is the deep state made by themself.

Gee Shock horror, SF is telling you all the bold bare truth, so how many of you are now choking on this story, the very same story I’ve been called a lying troll for trying to disclose to you all here on SF, and only one or two of you understood what I was telling you, and this story is telling you all the same things I’ve been saying for two and a half years now, but no one believed me, you didn’t believe me when I said,

” Daraa province became the epicenter of a Russian-Iranian conflict. Russia sought to expel the Fourth Division from the province and reinforce the influence of its “proxy”, the Fifth Corps, but they failed, and the protracted conflict caused destabilization in the region, increased the number of assassinations, as well as boosted drug and weapons trafficking.”

“To this end, with the intention of creating mechanism to distance the Iranian militias 60 km from the Jordanian and Israeli borders, as stated in the agreement with the Russians, Ahmed Odeh, commander of the 8th Brigade of the Fifth Corps, visited the Jordanian capital, accompanied by a Russian delegation at the end of November 2020.”

“Russia abandons its desire to manage the security arrangements in southern Syria alone in exchange of guaranteeing its interests by reconciling the various factions and integrating them into The Fifth Corps, this could lead to establishing of an autonomy project in the South that would serve Russian interests, meet the requirements of Israeli and Jordanian security, and gain American contentment.”

And I’ll bet a lot of readers won’t believe this SF story either, but that’s only because they don’t use official Russian news sources for info, just propaganda sites, otherwise they would’ve know all this 2 or 3 years ago, and not called me a lying troll for simply telling the truth

Fuck all you trolls, choke on this story while I laugh at you all.

” Daraa province became the epicenter of a Russian-Iranian conflict. Russia sought to expel the Fourth Division from the province and reinforce the influence of its “proxy”, the Fifth Corps, but they failed, and the protracted conflict caused destabilization in the region, increased the number of assassinations, as well as boosted drug and weapons trafficking.”

So who’s doing the drug dealing, arms trafficking, and assassinations ? The 4th Corps or the 5th Corps ?

Willing Conscience (The Truths

Neither, most of the accusations so far have been against Hezbollah and some of the other pro Iranian militias, most recently it’s the Druze militia that’s affiliated to the anti Russian ‘Men of Dignity’ group, the Russian backed 8th brigade came to blows against them just a few months ago, and very recently the leaders of the Druze community in As Sawayda have been accusing them of peddling drugs for the Iranians and much worse. At the time I provided links to the articles but it’ll take me too long to search for them now, try these opposition sites to find some info,

You need a translator for this one,

Just remember they’re both opposition sites, Enab Baladi is pretty professional but about as impartial as you would expect.

That doesn’t speak well of the SAA.

Willing Conscience (The Truths

Only concerning the Iranian supported elements of the SAA, and today someone’s been assassinating quite a few more Iranian affiliated 4th division and Air Force Intelligence soldiers/agents, they’re dropping like flies in Darra now, but no 5th Corps soldiers lost today, just people who work for Iran.

” assassinating quite a few more Iranian affiliated 4th division and Air Force Intelligence soldiers/agents, they’re dropping like flies in Darra now, but no 5th Corps soldiers lost today, just people who work for Iran. ”

Thats very telling also. Putin is a Chabad lap dog after all.

Willing Conscience (The Truths

Don’t make judicial assumptions, there are quite a few players on the field and only one of them is Russian, you also have the Saudis, the Egyptians, the Jordanians, the UAE, Israel, 99% of the Druze population, 2 separate opposition forces [the Southern front Alliance and the ex FSA], all fighting on the anti Iranian team, so the numbers were always going to be skewed against Iran regardless of anything the Russians are guilty or aren’t guilty of doing.

Is Putin is a Chabad lap dog ?

Willing Conscience (The Truths

Up until he gave himself and his whole family a lifetime immunity from any future criminal prosecutions I would’ve said no, he’s just pragmatic and has no real loyalty, but he’s not a “Chabad lap dog”, but since he made that jaw dropping and damning announcement, I can only say probably not, but I won’t say he definitely isn’t anymore, after all he’s more or less admitted his a criminal just by giving himself immunity, and you only do that if you’ve been hiding something. The Russian opposition leader just posted some excellent footage of Putin’s new retirement home/Palace, pretty nice for a politician/ex politician to live in, they must pay good wages to politicians in Russia.

Fog of War

Similar to US politicians who go into office with an average pay of $140,000 per year, yet somehow leave office multi-millionaires . I guess the Russians have learnt very well.

Willing Conscience (The Truths

I should’ve checked the news before I replied to you, a new incident has come to light that makes my reply inaccurate now.

“Monday, January 18, a security force affiliated with the Russian Fifth Corps raided homes in Khirbet Ghazala town in the eastern countryside of Daraa, and arrested a number of young men on charges of theft. The reporter of the Ahrar Horan Association stated that this campaign came after a complaint filed by the town’s notables, to lead the Fifth Corps to curb theft operations after the police station was unable to stop it. According to our correspondent, the thefts amounted to 100 operations in a short period of time, affecting a number of homes and shops, indicating that some of those involved in these operations were exposed, but the mediators soon intervened under the pretext of bail and ensuring that their actions would not be repeated. Our correspondent added that a number of young men who were arrested by the security forces belong to the Fourth Division, in addition to the presence of those accused of trafficking in hashish and drugs as well. It is worth noting that the accused were transferred to the city of Busra al-Sham, where the Russian-backed Fifth Corps headquarters is located, to be investigated, without information about the exact number and names of the accused”.

Arch Bungle

Four days ago, the Lebanese master analyst and Hezb and Iran insider, Anis Nakash, for the first time EVER told a discussion panel:

“We (the Axis of Resistance) are extremely confident of our military position and of our victory. The big war that will destroy israel is coming within months, not years.”

“Months, not years”, he reiterated to a stunned and joyful audience.

Mr. Nakash is known for gravitas, not sensationalism.

Willing Conscience (The Truths

LOL, 4 days ago I warned you the Russians were going to give the pro Iranian fantasy peddlers like you a huge dose of reality soon, but sadly I can see it’s still not sinking in yet, so what will it take to pull you out of the fantasy world you’ve been living in, an open firefight?

I wonder, how quick Trump-haters will have to admit that Bidet is thousand times worse?
